If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
For more than 10,000 years, wild salmon have been a vital food source and cultural icon for the people of the Pacific coast. One of the greatest food resources on our planet, salmon are sustainable only when harvesting methods ensure their survival and protect the surrounding ecosystem.
Guided by science, we take only from abundant, well-managed wild salmon runs, and we avoid bycatch of overfished species. In this way, we allow the ancient ocean-to-river cycle of salmon to continue, feeding countless other creatures, from tiny microbes to 800-pound grizzlies. And we provide healthy, delicious salmon for humans, too.
Types of Patagonia Provisions Salmon
We cold-smoke pink salmon fillets to allow the rich natural flavors to come through. The finished salmon is firm yet moist, with its nutritious oils intact.
Wild Pink Salmon: Our pink salmon comes from wild, self-sustaining runs off Lummi Island, Washington. To minimize bycatch, the wild pinks are caught using reef nets, an ancient selective-harvest technique. Careful handling preserves the delicate flavor and fine, flaky texture of our Wild Pink Salmon, which we lightly smoke and season.

Why Buy Patagonia Provisions Salmon?
We build our salmon supply chains from scratch, choosing healthy, abundant fisheries with the help of scientists at Wild Fish Conservancy, and we use responsible harvesting practices that leave plenty of fish for the future. The result of our careful work is excellent quality and great flavor. We also work to protect wild salmon through activism. Our efforts include letter-writing campaigns and in-person protests to a feature film that documents how fish hatcheries and fish farms threaten wild fish.
